Can anyone explain why the newest version of some xperia sp (12.1.A.1.201) is not on PTCRB? Maybe its not tested? And if its like that why sony rolled it out?

As far as i know if an update doesnt exist on PTCRB or gets removed from it, doesnt roll out..so we got an early, full of bigs update..and what's the point...a lot of complains of xperia SP users, including me too, facing serious problems in the basic functionality of the phone which makes this great phone a "rubbish". For an example there was a new update for the xperia L (owner too) in ptcrb which was removed and never rolled out...

201 showed up on PTCRB on 1st April, the day before it rolled out and was quickly taken down again. No idea why.

I don't believe that PTCRB test for bugs, they just certify that various telecoms protocols have been observed.

There are C5303 builds listed by them that were never rolled out by Sony, presumably because they failed Sony's testing.
